Good Afternoon!

Due to air quality outdoors, we decided to make it an indoor day.  We set up a wide range of activities throughout the classroom to keep kids engaged .  Kids practiced language arts in the reading area listening to and looking at books.  Older friends made books in the art center practicing their writing and kid-spelling. 

Kids had access to water play and sensory throughout the classroom.  Several kids were particularly engaged with the hand mixer we introduced.  They worked on their fine motor and coordination to get the mixer to work, making bubbles with soap and water.  Kids with a strong interest in the mechanics of how things work were enthralled with this contraption, watching the moving parts with great focus!

We brought the outside into the art center with a painting activity for kids to explore.  Kids picked out branches of varying shapes and sizes.  They will get the chance to use their creative problem solving skills as figure out what to make with their painted branches when dry. 

Other friends explored play dough, leafy branches and animals through imaginative play.

The building areas in our classroom were very busy as friends worked as a team to build complex play structures.  What a busy day of learning for Wee Friends!

During group we practiced yoga and deep breathing.  We read the story “Color Zoo” and tried to identify all of the shapes used to make the animal pictures.

Lunch: Brown rice with turkey, fresh watermelon/strawberries/banana and fresh cucumbers/peppers/carrots.
